HIGH SCHOOL- DAMIRAE

Ch 5: Trouble begins!

Raven's POV:

The lady suddenly popped out of nowhere and commented, "He acted decently today."               "What do you mean by that?", I asked.    "You sure are new here" "That I am!"   "He doesn't step in the infirmary much, he doesn't need to! But his victims surely do!"  "What?"  "I won't tell you much. Don't want to scare a new student. You'll realize things yourself! One thing you should keep in your mind is try not to trigger or anger him as much as possible. Though he tries to control himself as much as possible."  "Hmm."

I was all confused by her talk.  'Victims'? 'Control himself'?    Here I thought that I made people victims and that I need to control myself.   What is he?  I felt something odd in his aura but just can't figure it out. I felt as if a wall was trying to block me from knowing his exact emotions. Maybe my powers weakened. And it was good for me. Ignorance is bliss; I really don't want to hear other's emotions in my head and disturb myself.

I stepped out of the infirmary after a couple of minutes and bade the sweet lady goodbye. I realized the next class was gonna start soon. It was History. I started to make my way through the hallways but with people staring at me. I couldn't make out the reason at first but then I realized whose P.E. clothes were on my body. I avoided the situation and finally reached the class.

Sadly I couldn't spot a vacant place near Tracie. She sat beside someone else. The teacher said, " Sit there," pointing the vacant place beside Damian.  I had no option but to sit my ass down there. Why did he have to be in this class now!

I noticed Emiko was in the class too, not too far away from where I was sitting now. Damian asked in a husky voice without looking at me, " You fine?"  I mumbled a 'yes' in reply. That instant invited a comment from Emiko, "Someone really got a way to enjoy privileges she doesn't deserve."    I wanted to punch in her face really hard.     

OHH NO! I can't feel anger, I shouldn't feel anything. Control, deep breath, control, deep breath, huh! 

Damian  probably noticed my discomfort and said, "Just concentrate on lessons and avoid trivial distractions."  "Um, yeah."  I looked at Emiko she was already looking at me with sharp eyes.  I felt anger emanating from her. But I can't let that anger get into me.

Suddenly a voice spoke up in my head, "Emiko should learn her lesson."  I don't know whose voice it was but I found it satisfying. I said to myself, "I wish she gets her clothes as messed up as she got mine."

That instant I heard a shout. I looked back. It was Emiko. This can't be. NO! HOW? WHY?

Her dress got suddenly stained by blue liquid ink and I noticed the pen leaking horribly. She became chaotic.

I was shocked and confused. She ran to the washroom desperately. I was really nervous. Others were shocked too because this happened out of the blue but soon started to make fun of the scene.  Damian said in a low voice, "Serves her right."   I started to mumble 'no', 'why?' and 'how?' to myself nervously and my hands started shaking. This is really bad.  

I closed my eyes and breathed heavily to calm myself. I retained my emotionless state again but it was hard this time.

Damian's POV:

I really can't believe what just happened but that served Emiko right. She usually brings well-maintained pens. All show-off!

Rachel should be happy about this incident but instead she was jittery and nervous. She to mumble 'no', 'why?' and 'how?' to herself!  Her hands were shaking.  She looked as if she wanted to hide herself from the world.  Really suspicious!!!

She really is something!!!
